Wazzup Pilipinas was actually there not only to cover the competition but we were allowed to compete as well. Three of us participated in the "infotainment" event as the event had two parts: two speakers shared their knowledge about their expertise regarding FX Trading, and the other part was the actual HTH demo competition. 

It was surprising on my part to be included in the top ten during the early minutes of the event because I was actually being very extra cautious of what I was suppose to risk.

Maylippines : Malaysia and the Philippines

The Student Exchange Program on Japanese Language Education happened last November 12-15 2013.

On November 12, Tuesday, this is the day that we're waiting for.The day that we're going to meet the Malaysian students. We didn't mind the language difference, we interacted using Nihongo and English languages. 

At first we had visitor session with them and were able to know some information about some of the Malaysian student. Then we had cultural exchange program, where we both show our culture.

And here's some of the photos taken during our cultural exchange program.

Karaoke: Filipino or Japanese?

Filipinos are very fond of using the karaoke machine, it is a source of entertainment for them. They usually go to KTV bars and sing their hearts out, even if they're out of tune. Personally, I am not a fan of karaoke, yes I find it funny and entertaining when people who are always out of tune sing, but sometimes it gets annoying when they get too noisy.

Karaoke is used worldwide, but is most prevalent in Asia. Karaoke has come along way, starting from the early stages of the karaoke machine which were large machines, up to modern times where they are made in different devices like VCDs, mobile phones, automobiles and computers. There are even video games made for karaoke.

The first karaoke video game ever, was developed by TOSE and was called Karaoke Studio, which can only be played on the Nintendo FamiCom. 

Anyway. Let's go to our main topic, Who invented "karaoke"?

When you ask people this, some would say the Filipinos did, and others would say the Japanese. Well let's find out.
